Neville is a moron, he was keeping him onside by a metre at least.

Mirallas needs to be brought off, he's just not there today.
 
I need a new avatar, anyone want to conjure one up for me?



That one is kinda cool don't know how well it'd fit.

Either Rafael or the C celebration from Chicharito if you can find a good one :p

Jones has done a proper job on Fellani. Great defensively
Yeah he's done quite well.

As usual Cleverley offers next to nothing on the defensive side in midfield. Sometimes Fellaini drifts or there is a break on so Jones has to go across to cover...but it's never Cleverley filling it, it's mostly Rooney or one of the wide players.

Aye.

He was perilously late in chasing out to cover earlier in the game, too. If Evra is already taking a man, it's got to be Clev who flies out, and he's got to do it faster.

Agree.

Just watching Ronaldo's goals from yesterday. We're out if he plays like that on Wednesday.

Yep. It's annoying because he does serve a really worthy purpose in our team on the front foot, he moves the ball so quickly and sweetly that it sets us off far better than an inconsistent Anderson or Giggs in there, even Rooney who can be cumbersome.

But for some reason he just doesn't have a whiff of a positional sense.

BTW, it almost seems like De Gea has been told not to come for crosses. Not even trying to get off his line. Not good. Luckily Vidic is great in the mixer.

Pretty much.

When it's Ronaldo and Ozil getting so many free balls, it's gonna end in a goal.

It's weird because UTD teams of old always used to dictate the tempo and just pin the opposition into their own half.

These days they/you just seem setup to counter teams and to be fair it's deadly effective.

I don't think even United counter attacks are that good anymore. Now when we had Ronaldo - Rooney - Tevez - Nani...those were some amazing counters.
